Trouble refitting a lower balljoint

[Sarkie83]

I've replaced the front lower arms but the problem I'm having is getting the new taper joint back into the steering knuckle. One of those annoying times where everything you read says 'removal is the opposite of fittting ;-| )

As it goes in from above, it's not as easy as some other cars I've worked on where they attach from under either, so putting the jack under usual pops them back in...

Not my picture, but this is the one I'm talking about:



Anyone else had similar problems? I'm thinking that i'm going to have to remove the CV joint to give me enough space to hit it from above

Thanks in advance..
